Reign of Thunder

Reign of Thunder is a free to play mech-and-robot-themed TPS being developed by Day 1 Studios. The game is currently live with a teaser site and a debut trailer.

With a combo of RPG and Shooter, the game promises players a futuristic world fundamentally identical to MechWarrior Online and Mech Tactics. Most striking perhaps in the game is that the game lures players to create their own Mechs, that can be considered as Heroes or mercenaries to combat against others.

To be honest, there are few mech or robot games out there though, and it comes as no surprise such upcoming theme commands so many eyeballs.

A gamer’s expectation:

“As far as the video’s concered. I’m not sure if I should be disgusted or not. MechAssault 1 / 2 was already on the line between ‘Consolification’ of the cherished BattleTech franchise into an arcade game with no substance. I.E. the West has BattleTech (a wasted franchise thanks to MGS not investing in it) and the East can keep making crap giant robot games.

What would make more sense for free to play would be Mech Commander/Warrior in almost any format.

This is pure free to play MechAssault Blitz, and an abomination based on that video. I’m hoping Day1 isn’t just trying to cash in without offering a proper Battletech game with a backstory behind the mayhem.”

Anyway, let’s see how the game works in the future.
